SUMMARY

OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCE ON NOVEMBER 8,2012, TO DISCUSS THE LICENSEE'S REQUEST FOR RELIEF RR-ENG-3-09, DATED OCTOBER 16, 2012 (TAC NO. ME9806)

On November 8, 2012, members of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a telephone conference (telecon) with representatives from STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC, the licensee) to discuss the licensee's request for relief RR-ENG-3-09 dated October 16,2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML12299A287), for South Texas Project, Unit 2.

The licensee provided clarifying information for RR-ENG-3-09 to the NRC staff regarding (1) the location of the through-wall indication on the weld neck flange at valve 2-EW-0274 (Essential Chillers 21B/22B to Essential Chillers 21A122A ECW Cross-Tie Valve) and (2) the purpose of the cross-tie piping.

Based on the discussion, the licensee proposes to supplement its letter dated October 16, 2012, and provide the following information:

1.

A detailed description of the location of the through-wall indication with regard to the flange, cross-tie piping, and associated valves.

2.

A discussion of the purpose of the cross-tie during normal operations and accident conditions and the configuration during the normal and accident conditions of the cross-tie valves.

3.

A discussion of any references to the cross-tie in plant operating procedures, abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, design basis, and risk assessments.

4.

A discussion of the safety significance of the cross-tie piping and valves.

The licensee will confirm the proposed date of its submittal with the NRC project manager. No regulatory decisions were made on the telecon. A list of attendees is enclosed.
